PVERT basically doesn't work.  I took PVERT and created PQWK.  The
latest version is PQWK260.ZIP, available for FREQ.  There should be
enough documentation in that for you to set it up.  There is an
example table etc in there which you can use.  Let me know if it
doesn't work as documented.  Several points on this system are using
PQWK.  They are all deadshits.  Only deadshits use QWK at all.  Why
are you using QWK when you presumably already have the technology
for PKT?  Is it because you are getting mail from another BBS?  Why
are you getting mail from them, is it an area that I don't have?
Which area is that?  If it's something I genuinely don't have, and
the other system won't let you become a point, then yes, you need to
use QWK.  That then becomes the sysop being a deadshit, rather than
the disgruntled PQWK user.  BFN.  Paul.
